12 [a]On account of the (A)sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be (B)caught in their pride,
And on account of (C)curses and [b]lies which they utter.
13 [c](D)Destroy them in wrath, [d]destroy them that they may be no more;
That men may (E)know that God [e]rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 They (F)return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And go around the city.
